The last item 1h/game and 2h/40moves are totally different things.
Are you saying you believe that one equal computers games of
1h/game are equal to 2h/40moves.
I assume you are saying that you mean comp v comp games and
not comp v human games. Assuming that is so then:

Why do you believe this?
If this is the case why do the SSDF not test at 1h/game?
Thanks.
